The study area for the plan is bounded to the east by properties on the east side of South Main Street, Epting Avenue to the South, the CSX Rail Line and the Heritage Trail to the West, and Uptown Greenwood to the north. Major roadways within the study area include South Main Street, Edgefield Street, Spring Street, Carolina Avenue, Mineral Avenue, Marion Street, and Creswell Avenue.

A Steering Committee of community stakeholders oversaw the plan process and provided guidance to the project team from start to finish.

The conclusion of the report: The Edgefield/South Main area represents perhaps the most significant connection among Greenwood’s key assets and a singular opportunity to link them more closely. At the same time, it is a neighborhood with residents that have a critical stake in the place they call home. This plan attempts to preserve and enhance this neighborhood while fostering the connections that will continue to make Greenwood an innovator in revitalization.

The plan's key recommendation is the development of the Carolina Avenue connection from South Main to Edgefield Street to the Genetics Center Research Park.
